So we all probably know a bit of this madman. I figured it'd be nice if whoever feels like it shares some personal thought about him (not typical shit as "he united actuality with ideas" or the same in other words, but something personal). For example, I find that his dual conception of reality is shared by those who also have some sort of "poet" element in their writings (I'd say in Plato it is his irony, but also his ideas in some way I'd say are pretty "poetic"), which makes me suspect that some sort of prosaic rethoric leads some thinkers to actually believe in some sort of ideological reality due to a tangle of words in the axioms in which they build themselves (and consequently their nominalization of reality).
Tbh the only thing I'd like to do is to start some sort of useful conversation.
